MBTA Service Restoration Plan Announced

(Published Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015)

Most Boston transit service will be restored by Monday and the rest by the end of the month, the MBTA said as it unveiled its 30-day service restoration plan Wednesday, following crippling snowstorms that have forced the agency to curtail service and left many commuters in the cold.

The Red Line's stretch from JFK/UMass to North Quincy and the Green Line's E line will open on Friday, Feb. 20, for full service.

The Green Line's B line and the rest of the Red Line to Braintree will open on Monday, Feb. 23, while the Red Line's extention between Ashmont and Mattapan will open on Friday, Feb. 27.

Trains are running on a limited schedule Wednesday.
